Foodie Gift Guide 2012

The discrepancy between the amount of things I wanted to put on this gift guide and the amount that I did is...heartbreaking. But on this one I went for the less is more principle. Holiday shopping is overwhelming as it is. No need to throw a million wonderful things at you and make it even more complicated right?

So I picked out a few of my absolute favorites. And fortunately I think there is a little something for everyone on here. No need to have a die hard foodie on your list to use this gift guide!

I also wanted to share Ashley's gift guides from The Uniqueness of Being. They are pretty fabulous and go far beyond your foodie loving friends. Part 1 includes gifts for the foodie, the crafty ones, and the men. Part 2 includes gifts for the fashionista, the camera lover, and the pop culture fanatic. Check them out, she's got all of the bases covered.

2. Barefoot Coffee Roasters
-I'm a major coffee lover. And while I haven't had this...I'm pretty sure I should. They have amazing combinations and it was voted in the top 4 of Food & Wine Magazine's Boutique Roasters.

3. Home Made Winter Cookbook
-This is a given. The original Home Made Cookbook made my list last year. And I love it to pieces. Now I just need to get my hands on this one.

7. Lucky Peach Subscription from The McSweeney's Store
-A creation straight from David Chang of the Momofuku restaurants. Food porn at its finest.

8. Silpat Baking Sheet Liner from Williams Sonoma
-An absolute necessity for the baker in your life. Don't have a baker in your life? Send me one of these and I'll send you baked goods for a month.

9. Camano Coffee Mill from Old Faithful Shop
-Back to the love of coffee thing. And the love of old beautiful things. This is a gorgeous thing to have on the counter even if it's not going to a coffee lover.

10. Calendar Year Dishtowels from Anthropologie
-Oh, Anthropologie. Your kitchen products make my heart sing. Seriously though. Can I have it all?

11. Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Knife Set from Williams Sonoma
-Have you used a ceramic knife? I finally purchased one a couple months ago and I'll never go back. Your foodie friend needs one of these. Or several. I promise.

13. P&H Soda Syrups from P&H Soda Co.
-These are so fun! I'm definitely ordering the ginger syrup and making a cocktail. Oh wait...this is a gift guide for other people? Huh. Maybe I'll share the cocktail?
